Millefiori and Flag Beads

The beads in the left column have tiny, thin, millefiori patterned cane slices on their surface. They are among the types of beads that Stephen A. Frost & Son exported to Africa.

The right column features cone-shaped translucent beads with squiggle designs and beads with an American flag pattern on their surface.
